Summary

NNMi shows different names for the individual CPUs. With this feature disabled, NNMi shows the SNMP MIB variable name to be the same for all CPUs.

Question

The Node Component tab in the NNMi analysis pane contains gauges showing the NNMi component name as the MIB OID being polled. This helps you understand  which gauge goes with which component. The node component name helps differentiate gauges if NNMi shows a lot of gauges for a node. For example, if a nodecontains a large number of CPUs, NNMi shows different names for the individual CPUs. With this feature disabled, NNMi shows the SNMP MIB variable name to bethe same for all CPUs.

Answer

If you want to change this property to show gauge titles as SNMP MIB variable names rather than NNMi component names, complete the following steps:


1 Edit the following file:


• Windows: %NNM_PROPS%\nms-ui.properties
• UNIX: $NNM_PROPS/nms-ui.properties


2 Locate the text block containing the following line:


com.hp.nnm.ui.analysisGaugeTitleIsNodeComponentName = true

3 Edit the following line to read as follows:


com.hp.nnm.ui.analysisGaugeTitleIsNodeComponentName = false

4 Save your changes.


5 Restart NNMi:
